Intermittent crashes ctrl+f Ubuntu 20.04. How to fix?

Question

ubuntu

Hello.

System: Linux nightblade 5.4.0-33-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 21 12:53:59 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

About a week ago I began to notice the following - ctrl + f periodically stops working. Moreover, the time when this bug can appear is completely random. Just at one fine moment I can’t call a search with a hotkey (chrome, phpstorm, nautilus, etc.).

I can’t understand why ... The only thing I set in gnome tweak was switching the language to caps lock (I clarified the moment with gnome tweak, because when I googled I came across the topic , the person also had a problem with hotkeys - only others ).

It's doubly annoying, because you have to reboot - this is the only option, after which ctrl + f starts working. Do not tell me how to fix it? This is the first time I've encountered this kind of crap...

In general, he asked himself - he answered :) Using the
method of scientific poke, in Gnome Tweaks -> Keyboard & Mouse activated the Pointer Location item and it all worked.

HZ at some point "something went wrong", before that this item had never been touched and it was always turned off.
